Israel restricted aid into Gaza and kept the enclave's border shut on Tuesday while re-emergent Hamas fighters demonstrated their grip by executing men in the street, darkening the outlook for U. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war.

As Israel and Hamas implement the first phase of a Gaza peace plan, questions remain unanswered over what comes next.

Israel’s defense minister has ordered all remaining Palestinians to leave Gaza City, saying it is their “last opportunity.”

Israel has launched its offensive in Gaza City, vowing to overwhelm a city already in ruins from nearly two years of war.

So far the Gaza ceasefire is holding, but calls are getting louder for Hamas to hand over more hostages' remains, and for Israel to allow in more aid.

The ceasefire on Wednesday was largely holding, although Hamas described Israeli attacks in Gaza as violations of the agreement.

Hospitals across the Gaza Strip recorded 65 deaths -- including of two aid seekers -- and 153 injuries in the past 24 hours due to Israeli military actions, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported on Sunday. A total of 67,139 Palestinians have now been killed since the war began in October 2023, the ministry said.

Israel has launched a new ground offensive into Gaza City designed to dismantle Hamas infrastructure and warned residents to leave and head south.

Israel's defence minister on Wednesday threatened to resume fighting if Hamas does not honour the terms of a US-backed ceasefire that halted the war in Gaza.
